Prolapsed Bladder And Its Symptoms!

A bladder is an organ that stores urine in the body. A prolapsed bladder occurs when the tissue present between the vagina and the bladder is stretched, resulting in a bulge in the bladder. This can result in complications such as leakage of urine and difficulty in passing the same. Based on the severity of the damage, it is classified into four categories -

Mild: A small area of the bladder bulges in the vagina

Moderate: The bladder bulges near the vaginal opening

Severe: Protrusion of the bladder occurs through the vaginal opening

Complete: The entire area of the bladder protrudes completely from the body via the opening of the vagina

The symptoms of a prolapsed bladder are:

Feeling of intense pressure around the pelvic area

Infections related to the bladder

Pain during sexual intercourse

Tissues bulging out through the vaginal opening

Pain in the lower back region

Prolapsed bladder is caused by:

Childbirth: It can cause ligaments and pelvic muscles to weaken thus increasing their vulnerability to a prolapsed bladder
